Been wanting that gif and been too lazy to record it!

AI is far more than LLMs. Why does everyone on lemmy think AI is nothing but?!

The government will still have to pay to use Excel. Too much shit will break, you can’t just flip an .xlxs into another program.

Board them, hold a military court on the spot, hang the captain and first mate, throw the rest of the crew on the nearest shore, wherever the fuck that may be, scuttle the ship. That kinda action would take maybe twice, thrice if they’re really stubborn. Instant mutiny if anyone onboard even suspects they’re dragging cables. Boom. End of this shit.

Russian and Chinese ships are literally engaged in terrorism, piracy, invent a new word for all I care. China especially is testing what they can get away with, and the rest of the world is allowing it. Guess they got their answer.

You all should catch up on the news as to what they’re pulling in the South China Sea, i.e., fucking with Vietnam and the Philippines. China is 1 inch away from publicly declaring, “These are Chinese waters, do sumpin’ bout it!”

I’m expert level at reusing, recycling, repurposing. I could take someone on a 2-hour tour of my house or camp, either one, two hours without repeating myself, and show them all the shit I didn’t buy new.

Some y’all about the learn how to scavenge. Or not.

BuT VidEo gAmE prIceS!!

While you’re at it, you’ll learn a whole new diet called, “Grow Your Own Calories.”

“But I can’t do that in my dense city center!”

I know. One of a hundred reasons I refused to live like that.

And fuck me. Tomorrow is my last day off for a minute and I gotta build and farm. FML.

Unarmed? Got a 9 in the closet, “just in case” of whatever the fuck. Don’t know if it’s loaded? Maybe grandpa’s rusty 12-gauge is floating around somewhere?

Too. Fucking. Late.

Been screaming for years that this day was coming. And all the while Democrats, “gUnS Bad, KiLl kiDs!” Well, now you can get in on the “killed” side! But hey, at least you can die in a pool of blood while keeping your morals intact!

“But if I fight back I may DIE!”

Yes. That happens when you fight for your life, sometimes you lose. I’ll die with my boots on, please and thank you.

Solid answer! Guess I’m a cow patty for even asking, but you came to the rescue.

Why was the US funding FOSS projects? That strikes me as weird, inappropriate and suspicious.

Bingo. Lots of stupid things at this level boil down to legal protection. You’ll see it everywhere once you learn and look.

In his skull, he can’t be wrong, nothing to admit. That’s a core narcissistic (NPD) trait. Funny seeing people accuse Trump of lying. Everything that comes out his mouth is the truth, it cannot be any other way. Presented with falsification, his brain simply backtracks and overwrites whatever needs pushed out.

My mother was the only other human I’ve ever met like that. Others I’ve known could have niggling doubts, knew they might be wrong, or at least off.

Nope, won’t even faze 'em. 🙄

Scots sounds like:

"Nae king! Nae quin! Nae laird! Nae master! We willna’ be fooled again!”

I got an AC powered unit off Amazon a couple of years ago. How can I tell if it’s fake? Jewelry comes out bangin’, but I’ve wondered it if should work even better.

Wife got this stuff last week and it seemed to make a dramatic difference.

OTOH, I can’t see this thing having a legit transducer. Anyway to tell without tearing it down? Guess that’s easy enough if I really care.

Should I try something rusty? Should a “real” one work for that? Also, it gets the water pretty hot. Is that an indicator?

I do much the same in my head.

Know what’s crazy? We sling bags of mulch, dirt and rocks onto customer vehicles every day. No one, neither coworkers nor customers, will do simple multiplication. Only the most advanced workers do it. No lie.

Customer wants 30 bags of mulch. I look at the given space:

“Let’s do 6 stacks of 5.”

Everyone proceeds to sling shit around in random piles and count as we go. And then someone loses track and has to shift shit around to check the count.

I consider The Register to be the gold standard in tech journalism. When asked how I keep up with evolving tech, I told the interview panel that any tech news they see on mainstream media was likely broken by The Register 3 days previous, with original sources and quotes from top corporate officers.

Also told them I had followed several tech subs on reddit in the past, but as the site has devolved into bots talking to one another, I’ve turned to lemmy for tech community interaction and advice.

(No, I’m not using lemmy for that so much, but if I land the network admin job I will!)

Surely American trades some products? Where does Russian vodka come from?

Every move he makes, every word he speaks falls under one of those items. Spot on!

They have trained me to shoot first, ask questions later. And I mean that most literally. FFS, they come in unidentified, and even with ID, with no warrants.

I know it’s a harder pill to swallow for younger folks, but my old ass has put serious thought into dying with my boots on. Trump will be going after legal immigrants next, like my wife. FFS, they’re taking white people already.

Exactly my take, spot on.

They run to their Republicans, voting blindly like always.

Perhaps a glimmer of hope in NW Florida? Voted for the Democrat I knew would lose yesterday (special election to replace Gaetz.) She lost, but we closed the gap and the other Florida election closed it tighter.

Been saying for years, vote even if you know you’re candidate will lose. These fuckers can read spreadsheets, and hopefully we can make them see the walls closing in. But yeah, had a wild day yesterday and it was a pain to take time out to vote for a loser. But goddammit, my voice will be heard.
